-.SH NAME
-__xservername__ - X11R7 X server
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B __xservername__
-.RI [\fB:\fP display ]
-.RI [ option
-.IR ... ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B __xservername__
-is a full featured X server that was originally designed for UNIX and
-UNIX-like operating systems running on Intel x86 hardware.  It now runs
-on a wider range of hardware and OS platforms.
-.PP
-This work was derived by the X.Org Foundation from the XFree86 Project's 
-.I "XFree86\ 4.4rc2"
-release.
-The XFree86 release was originally derived from
-.I "X386\ 1.2"
-by Thomas Roell which was contributed to X11R5 by Snitily Graphics
-Consulting Service.
-.SH PLATFORMS
-.PP
-.B __xservername__
-operates under a wide range of operating systems and hardware platforms.
-The Intel x86 (IA32) architecture is the most widely supported hardware
-platform.  Other hardware platforms include Compaq Alpha, Intel IA64, AMD64,
-SPARC and PowerPC.  The most widely supported operating systems are the
-free/OpenSource UNIX-like systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
-OpenBSD, and Solaris.  Commercial UNIX operating systems such as
-UnixWare are also supported.  Other supported operating systems include
-GNU Hurd.  Darwin and Mac OS X are supported with the
-XDarwin(__appmansuffix__) X server.  Win32/Cygwin is supported with the 
-XWin(__appmansuffix__) X server.
-.PP
-.SH "NETWORK CONNECTIONS"
-.B __xservername__
-supports connections made using the following reliable
-byte-streams:
-.TP 4
-.I "Local"
-On most platforms, the "Local" connection type is a UNIX-domain socket.
-On some System V platforms, the "local" connection types also include
-STREAMS pipes, named pipes, and some other mechanisms.
-.TP 4
-.I TCP\/IP
-.B __xservername__
-listens on port
-.RI 6000+ n ,
-where
-.I n
-is the display number.  This connection type can be disabled with the
-.B \-nolisten
-option (see the Xserver(1) man page for details).
-.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
-For operating systems that support local connections other than Unix
-Domain sockets (SVR3 and SVR4), there is a compiled-in list specifying
-the order in which local connections should be attempted.  This list
-can be overridden by the
-.I XLOCAL
-environment variable described below.  If the display name indicates a
-best-choice connection should be made (e.g.
-.BR :0.0 ),
-each connection mechanism is tried until a connection succeeds or no
-more mechanisms are available.  Note: for these OSs, the Unix Domain
-socket connection is treated differently from the other local connection
-types.  To use it the connection must be made to
-.BR unix:0.0 .
-.PP
-The
-.I XLOCAL
-environment variable should contain a list of one more
-more of the following:
-.PP
-.RS 8
-.nf
-NAMED
-PTS
-SCO
-ISC
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-which represent SVR4 Named Streams pipe, Old-style USL Streams pipe,
-SCO XSight Streams pipe, and ISC Streams pipe, respectively.  You can
-select a single mechanism (e.g.
-.IR XLOCAL=NAMED ),
-or an ordered list (e.g. \fIXLOCAL="NAMED:PTS:SCO"\fP).
-his variable overrides the compiled-in defaults.  For SVR4 it is
-recommended that
-.I NAMED
-be the first preference connection.  The default setting is
-.IR PTS:NAMED:ISC:SCO .
-.PP
-To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define (and
-export if using
-.B sh
-or
-.BR ksh )
-.I XLOCAL
-globally.  If you use startx(1) or xinit(1), the definition should be
-at the top of your
-.I .xinitrc
-file.  If you use xdm(1), the definitions should be early on in the
-.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
-script.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.B __xservername__
-supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and
-run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) configuration files, auto-detection, and
-fallback defaults.  When the same information is supplied in more than
-one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used.  The list of mechanisms
-is ordered from highest precedence to lowest.  Note that not all parameters
-can be supplied via all methods.  The available command line options
-and environment variables (and some defaults) are described here and in
-the Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page.  Most configuration file 
-parameters, with their defaults, are described in the
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page.  Driver and module specific 
-configuration parameters are described in the relevant driver or module 
-manual page.
-.PP
-In addition to the normal server options described in the 
-Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page,
-.B __xservername__
-accepts the following command line switches:
-.TP 8
-.BI vt XX
-.I XX
-specifies the Virtual Terminal device number which
-.B __xservername__
-will use.  Without this option,
-.B __xservername__
-will pick the first available Virtual Terminal that it can locate.  This
-option applies only to platforms that have virtual terminal support, such
-as Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris, SVR3, and SVR4.
-.TP
-.B \-allowMouseOpenFail
-Allow the server to start up even if the mouse device can't be opened
-or initialised.  This is equivalent to the
-.B AllowMouseOpenFail
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.B \-allowNonLocalXvidtune
-Make the VidMode extension available to remote clients.  This allows
-the xvidtune client to connect from another host.  This is equivalent
-to the
-.B AllowNonLocalXvidtune
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.  By default non-local
-connections are not allowed.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-bgamma " value"
-Set the blue gamma correction.
-.I value
-must be between 0.1 and 10.
-The default is 1.0.  Not all drivers support this.  See also the
-.BR \-gamma ,
-.BR \-rgamma ,
-and
-.B \-ggamma
-options.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-bpp " n"
-No longer supported.  Use
-.B \-depth
-to set the color depth, and use
-.B \-fbbpp
-if you really need to force a non-default framebuffer (hardware) pixel
-format.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-config " file"
-Read the server configuration from
-.IR file .
-This option will work for any file when the server is run as root (i.e,
-with real-uid 0), or for files relative to a directory in the config
-search path for all other users.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-configdir " directory"
-Read the server configuration files from
-.IR directory .
-This option will work for any directory when the server is run as root
-(i.e, with real-uid 0), or for directories relative to a directory in the
-config directory search path for all other users.
-.TP 8
-.B \-configure
-When this option is specified, the
-.B __xservername__
-server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware,
-and writes out an initial __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file based on
-what was detected.  This option currently has some problems on some
-platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the
-configuration process.  This option is only available when the server
-is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
-.TP 8
-.BI "\-crt /dev/tty" XX
-SCO only.  This is the same as the
-.B vt
-option, and is provided for compatibility with the native SCO X server.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-depth " n"
-Sets the default color depth.  Legal values are 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, and
-24.  Not all drivers support all values.
-.TP 8
-.B \-disableVidMode
-Disable the parts of the VidMode extension (used by the xvidtune
-client) that can be used to change the video modes.  This is equivalent
-to the
-.B DisableVidModeExtension
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.B \-fbbpp \fIn\fP
-Sets the number of framebuffer bits per pixel.  You should only set this
-if you're sure it's necessary; normally the server can deduce the correct
-value from
-.B \-depth
-above.  Useful if you want to run a depth 24 configuration with a 24
-bpp framebuffer rather than the (possibly default) 32 bpp framebuffer
-(or vice versa).  Legal values are 1, 8, 16, 24, 32.  Not all drivers
-support all values.
-.TP 8
-.B \-flipPixels
-Swap the default values for the black and white pixels.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-gamma " value"
-Set the gamma correction.
-.I value
-must be between 0.1 and 10.  The default is 1.0.  This value is applied
-equally to the R, G and B values.  Those values can be set independently
-with the
-.BR \-rgamma ,
-.BR \-bgamma ,
-and
-.B \-ggamma
-options.  Not all drivers support this.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-ggamma " value"
-Set the green gamma correction.
-.I value
-must be between 0.1 and 10.  The default is 1.0.  Not all drivers support
-this.  See also the
-.BR \-gamma ,
-.BR \-rgamma ,
-and
-.B \-bgamma
-options.
-.TP 8
-.B \-ignoreABI
-The
-.B __xservername__
-server checks the ABI revision levels of each module that it loads.  It
-will normally refuse to load modules with ABI revisions that are newer
-than the server's.  This is because such modules might use interfaces
-that the server does not have.  When this option is specified, mismatches
-like this are downgraded from fatal errors to warnings.  This option
-should be used with care.
-.TP 8
-.B \-isolateDevice \fIbus\-id\fP
-Restrict device resets to the device at
-.IR bus\-id .
-The
-.I bus\-id
-string has the form
-.IB bustype : bus : device : function
-(e.g., \(oqPCI:1:0:0\(cq).
-At present, only isolation of PCI devices is supported; i.e., this option
-is ignored if
-.I bustype
-is anything other than \(oqPCI\(cq.
-.TP 8
-.B \-keeptty
-Prevent the server from detaching its initial controlling terminal.
-This option is only useful when debugging the server.  Not all platforms
-support (or can use) this option.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-keyboard " keyboard-name"
-Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
-.B InputDevice
-section called
-.I keyboard-name
-as the core keyboard.  This option is ignored when the
-.B Layout
-section specifies a core keyboard.  In the absence of both a Layout
-section and this option, the first relevant
-.B InputDevice
-section is used for the core keyboard.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-layout " layout-name"
-Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
-.B Layout
-section called
-.IR layout-name .
-By default the first
-.B Layout
-section is used.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-logfile " filename"
-Use the file called
-.I filename
-as the
-.B __xservername__
-server log file.  The default log file is
-.BI __logdir__/__xservername__. n .log
-on most platforms, where
-.I n
-is the display number of the
-.B __xservername__
-server.  The default may be in a different directory on some platforms.
-This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with
-real-uid 0).
-.TP 8
-.BR \-logverbose " [\fIn\fP]"
-Sets the verbosity level for information printed to the
-.B __xservername__
-server log file.  If the
-.I n
-value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the log
-file verbosity level.  When the
-.I n
-value is supplied, the log file verbosity level is set to that value.
-The default log file verbosity level is 3.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-modulepath " searchpath"
-Set the module search path to
-.IR searchpath .
-.I searchpath
-is a comma separated list of directories to search for
-.B __xservername__
-server modules.  This option is only available when the server is run
-as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
-.TP 8
-.B \-nosilk
-Disable Silken Mouse support.
-.TP 8
-.B \-pixmap24
-Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 24 bits per pixel.
-The default is usually 32 bits per pixel.  There is normally little
-reason to use this option.  Some client applications don't like this
-pixmap format, even though it is a perfectly legal format.  This is
-equivalent to the
-.B Pixmap
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.B \-pixmap32
-Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 32 bits per pixel.
-This is usually the default.  This is equivalent to the
-.B Pixmap
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-pointer " pointer-name"
-Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
-.B InputDevice
-section called
-.I pointer-name
-as the core pointer.  This option is ignored when the
-.B Layout
-section specifies a core pointer.  In the absence of both a Layout
-section and this option, the first relevant
-.B InputDevice
-section is used for the core pointer.
-.TP 8
-.B \-quiet
-Suppress most informational messages at startup.  The verbosity level
-is set to zero.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-rgamma " value"
-Set the red gamma correction.
-.I value
-must be between 0.1 and 10.  The default is 1.0.  Not all drivers support
-this.  See also the
-.BR \-gamma ,
-.BR \-bgamma ,
-and
-.B \-ggamma
-options.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-screen " screen-name"
-Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file
-.B Screen
-section called
-.IR screen-name .
-By default the screens referenced by the default
-.B Layout
-section are used, or the first
-.B Screen
-section when there are no
-.B Layout
-sections.
-.TP 8
-.B \-showconfig
-This is the same as the
-.B \-version
-option, and is included for compatibility reasons.  It may be removed
-in a future release, so the
-.B \-version
-option should be used instead.
-.TP 8
-.B \-showDefaultModulePath
-Print out the default module path the server was compiled with.
-.TP 8
-.B \-showDefaultLibPath
-Print out the path libraries should be installed to.
-.TP 8
-.B \-showopts
-For each driver module installed, print out the list of options and their
-argument types.
-.TP 8
-.BI \-weight " nnn"
-Set RGB weighting at 16 bpp.  The default is 565.  This applies only to
-those drivers which support 16 bpp.
-.TP 8
-.BR \-verbose " [\fIn\fP]"
-Sets the verbosity level for information printed on stderr.  If the
-.I n
-value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the
-verbosity level.  When the
-.I n
-value is supplied, the verbosity level is set to that value.  The default
-verbosity level is 0.
-.TP 8
-.B \-version
-Print out the server version, patchlevel, release date, the operating
-system/platform it was built on, and whether it includes module loader
-support.
-.SH "KEYBOARD"
-.PP
-The
-.B __xservername__
-server is normally configured to recognize various special combinations
-of key presses that instruct the server to perform some action, rather
-than just sending the key press event to a client application. These actions
-depend on the XKB keymap loaded by a particular keyboard device and may or
-may not be available on a given configuration.
-.PP
-The following key combinations are commonly part of the default XKEYBOARD
-keymap.
-.TP 8
-.B Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
-Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked. It can be disabled by
-setting the
-.B DontZap
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option to a TRUE value.
-.TP 8
-.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus
-Change video mode to next one specified in the configuration file.
-This can be disabled with the
-.B DontZoom
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus
-Change video mode to previous one specified in the configuration file.
-This can be disabled with the
-.B DontZoom
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.TP 8
-.B Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12
-For systems with virtual terminal support, these keystroke
-combinations are used to switch to virtual terminals 1 through 12,
-respectively.  This can be disabled with the
-.B DontVTSwitch
-__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.
-.SH CONFIGURATION
-.B __xservername__
-typically uses a configuration file called
-.B __xconfigfile__
-and configuration files with the suffix
-.I .conf
-in a directory called
-.B __xconfigdir__
-for its initial setup.
-Refer to the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page for information
-about the format of this file.
-.PP
-.B __xservername__
-has a mechanism for automatically generating a built-in configuration
-at run-time when no
-.B __xconfigfile__
-file or
-.B __xconfigdir__
-files are present.  The current version of this automatic configuration
-mechanism works in two ways.
-.PP
-The first is via enhancements that have made many components of the
-.B __xconfigfile__
-file optional.  This means that information that can be probed or
-reasonably deduced doesn't need to be specified explicitly, greatly
-reducing the amount of built-in configuration information that needs to
-be generated at run-time.
-.PP
-The second is to have "safe" fallbacks for most configuration information.
-This maximises the likelihood that the
-.B __xservername__
-server will start up in some usable configuration even when information
-about the specific hardware is not available.
-.PP
-The automatic configuration support for __xservername__ is work in progress.
-It is currently aimed at the most popular hardware and software platforms
-supported by __xservername__.  Enhancements are planned for future releases.
-.SH FILES
-The
-.B __xservername__
-server config files can be found in a range of locations.  These are
-documented fully in the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page.  The
-most commonly used locations are shown here.

+.RI [\fB:\fP display ]

+.RI [ option

+.IR ... ]

+.SH DESCRIPTION

+.B __xservername__

+is a full featured X server that was originally designed for UNIX and

+UNIX-like operating systems running on Intel x86 hardware.  It now runs

+on a wider range of hardware and OS platforms.

+.PP

+This work was derived by the X.Org Foundation from the XFree86 Project's 

+.I "XFree86\ 4.4rc2"

+release.

+The XFree86 release was originally derived from

+.I "X386\ 1.2"

+by Thomas Roell which was contributed to X11R5 by Snitily Graphics

+Consulting Service.

+.SH PLATFORMS

+.PP

+.B __xservername__

+operates under a wide range of operating systems and hardware platforms.

+The Intel x86 (IA32) architecture is the most widely supported hardware

+platform.  Other hardware platforms include Compaq Alpha, Intel IA64, AMD64,

+SPARC and PowerPC.  The most widely supported operating systems are the

+free/OpenSource UNIX-like systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD,

+OpenBSD, and Solaris.  Commercial UNIX operating systems such as

+UnixWare are also supported.  Other supported operating systems include

+GNU Hurd.  Darwin and Mac OS X are supported with the

+XDarwin(__appmansuffix__) X server.  Win32/Cygwin is supported with the 

+XWin(__appmansuffix__) X server.

+.PP

+.SH "NETWORK CONNECTIONS"

+.B __xservername__

+supports connections made using the following reliable

+byte-streams:

+.TP 4

+.I "Local"

+On most platforms, the "Local" connection type is a UNIX-domain socket.

+On some System V platforms, the "local" connection types also include

+STREAMS pipes, named pipes, and some other mechanisms.

+.TP 4

+.I TCP\/IP

+.B __xservername__

+listens on port

+.RI 6000+ n ,

+where

+.I n

+is the display number.  This connection type can be disabled with the

+.B \-nolisten

+option (see the Xserver(1) man page for details).

+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"

+For operating systems that support local connections other than Unix

+Domain sockets (SVR3 and SVR4), there is a compiled-in list specifying

+the order in which local connections should be attempted.  This list

+can be overridden by the

+.I XLOCAL

+environment variable described below.  If the display name indicates a

+best-choice connection should be made (e.g.

+.BR :0.0 ),

+each connection mechanism is tried until a connection succeeds or no

+more mechanisms are available.  Note: for these OSs, the Unix Domain

+socket connection is treated differently from the other local connection

+types.  To use it the connection must be made to

+.BR unix:0.0 .

+.PP

+The

+.I XLOCAL

+environment variable should contain a list of one more

+more of the following:

+.PP

+.RS 8

+.nf

+NAMED

+PTS

+SCO

+ISC

+.fi

+.RE

+.PP

+which represent SVR4 Named Streams pipe, Old-style USL Streams pipe,

+SCO XSight Streams pipe, and ISC Streams pipe, respectively.  You can

+select a single mechanism (e.g.

+.IR XLOCAL=NAMED ),

+or an ordered list (e.g. \fIXLOCAL="NAMED:PTS:SCO"\fP).

+his variable overrides the compiled-in defaults.  For SVR4 it is

+recommended that

+.I NAMED

+be the first preference connection.  The default setting is

+.IR PTS:NAMED:ISC:SCO .

+.PP

+To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define (and

+export if using

+.B sh

+or

+.BR ksh )

+.I XLOCAL

+globally.  If you use startx(1) or xinit(1), the definition should be

+at the top of your

+.I .xinitrc

+file.  If you use xdm(1), the definitions should be early on in the

+.I __projectroot__/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession

+script.

+.SH OPTIONS

+.B __xservername__

+supports several mechanisms for supplying/obtaining configuration and

+run-time parameters: command line options, environment variables, the

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) configuration files, auto-detection, and

+fallback defaults.  When the same information is supplied in more than

+one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used.  The list of mechanisms

+is ordered from highest precedence to lowest.  Note that not all parameters

+can be supplied via all methods.  The available command line options

+and environment variables (and some defaults) are described here and in

+the Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page.  Most configuration file 

+parameters, with their defaults, are described in the

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page.  Driver and module specific 

+configuration parameters are described in the relevant driver or module 

+manual page.

+.PP

+In addition to the normal server options described in the 

+Xserver(__appmansuffix__) manual page,

+.B __xservername__

+accepts the following command line switches:

+.TP 8

+.BI vt XX

+.I XX

+specifies the Virtual Terminal device number which

+.B __xservername__

+will use.  Without this option,

+.B __xservername__

+will pick the first available Virtual Terminal that it can locate.  This

+option applies only to platforms that have virtual terminal support, such

+as Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris, SVR3, and SVR4.

+.TP

+.B \-allowMouseOpenFail

+Allow the server to start up even if the mouse device can't be opened

+or initialised.  This is equivalent to the

+.B AllowMouseOpenFail

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.

+.TP 8

+.B \-allowNonLocalXvidtune

+Make the VidMode extension available to remote clients.  This allows

+the xvidtune client to connect from another host.  This is equivalent

+to the

+.B AllowNonLocalXvidtune

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.  By default non-local

+connections are not allowed.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-bgamma " value"

+Set the blue gamma correction.

+.I value

+must be between 0.1 and 10.

+The default is 1.0.  Not all drivers support this.  See also the

+.BR \-gamma ,

+.BR \-rgamma ,

+and

+.B \-ggamma

+options.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-bpp " n"

+No longer supported.  Use

+.B \-depth

+to set the color depth, and use

+.B \-fbbpp

+if you really need to force a non-default framebuffer (hardware) pixel

+format.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-config " file"

+Read the server configuration from

+.IR file .

+This option will work for any file when the server is run as root (i.e,

+with real-uid 0), or for files relative to a directory in the config

+search path for all other users.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-configdir " directory"

+Read the server configuration files from

+.IR directory .

+This option will work for any directory when the server is run as root

+(i.e, with real-uid 0), or for directories relative to a directory in the

+config directory search path for all other users.

+.TP 8

+.B \-configure

+When this option is specified, the

+.B __xservername__

+server loads all video driver modules, probes for available hardware,

+and writes out an initial __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file based on

+what was detected.  This option currently has some problems on some

+platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the

+configuration process.  This option is only available when the server

+is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).

+.TP 8

+.BI "\-crt /dev/tty" XX

+SCO only.  This is the same as the

+.B vt

+option, and is provided for compatibility with the native SCO X server.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-depth " n"

+Sets the default color depth.  Legal values are 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, and

+24.  Not all drivers support all values.

+.TP 8

+.B \-disableVidMode

+Disable the parts of the VidMode extension (used by the xvidtune

+client) that can be used to change the video modes.  This is equivalent

+to the

+.B DisableVidModeExtension

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.

+.TP 8

+.B \-fbbpp \fIn\fP

+Sets the number of framebuffer bits per pixel.  You should only set this

+if you're sure it's necessary; normally the server can deduce the correct

+value from

+.B \-depth

+above.  Useful if you want to run a depth 24 configuration with a 24

+bpp framebuffer rather than the (possibly default) 32 bpp framebuffer

+(or vice versa).  Legal values are 1, 8, 16, 24, 32.  Not all drivers

+support all values.

+.TP 8

+.B \-flipPixels

+Swap the default values for the black and white pixels.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-gamma " value"

+Set the gamma correction.

+.I value

+must be between 0.1 and 10.  The default is 1.0.  This value is applied

+equally to the R, G and B values.  Those values can be set independently

+with the

+.BR \-rgamma ,

+.BR \-bgamma ,

+and

+.B \-ggamma

+options.  Not all drivers support this.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-ggamma " value"

+Set the green gamma correction.

+.I value

+must be between 0.1 and 10.  The default is 1.0.  Not all drivers support

+this.  See also the

+.BR \-gamma ,

+.BR \-rgamma ,

+and

+.B \-bgamma

+options.

+.TP 8

+.B \-ignoreABI

+The

+.B __xservername__

+server checks the ABI revision levels of each module that it loads.  It

+will normally refuse to load modules with ABI revisions that are newer

+than the server's.  This is because such modules might use interfaces

+that the server does not have.  When this option is specified, mismatches

+like this are downgraded from fatal errors to warnings.  This option

+should be used with care.

+.TP 8

+.B \-isolateDevice \fIbus\-id\fP

+Restrict device resets to the device at

+.IR bus\-id .

+The

+.I bus\-id

+string has the form

+.IB bustype : bus : device : function

+(e.g., \(oqPCI:1:0:0\(cq).

+At present, only isolation of PCI devices is supported; i.e., this option

+is ignored if

+.I bustype

+is anything other than \(oqPCI\(cq.

+.TP 8

+.B \-keeptty

+Prevent the server from detaching its initial controlling terminal.

+This option is only useful when debugging the server.  Not all platforms

+support (or can use) this option.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-keyboard " keyboard-name"

+Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file

+.B InputDevice

+section called

+.I keyboard-name

+as the core keyboard.  This option is ignored when the

+.B Layout

+section specifies a core keyboard.  In the absence of both a Layout

+section and this option, the first relevant

+.B InputDevice

+section is used for the core keyboard.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-layout " layout-name"

+Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file

+.B Layout

+section called

+.IR layout-name .

+By default the first

+.B Layout

+section is used.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-logfile " filename"

+Use the file called

+.I filename

+as the

+.B __xservername__

+server log file.  The default log file is

+.BI __logdir__/__xservername__. n .log

+on most platforms, where

+.I n

+is the display number of the

+.B __xservername__

+server.  The default may be in a different directory on some platforms.

+This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with

+real-uid 0).

+.TP 8

+.BR \-logverbose " [\fIn\fP]"

+Sets the verbosity level for information printed to the

+.B __xservername__

+server log file.  If the

+.I n

+value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the log

+file verbosity level.  When the

+.I n

+value is supplied, the log file verbosity level is set to that value.

+The default log file verbosity level is 3.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-modulepath " searchpath"

+Set the module search path to

+.IR searchpath .

+.I searchpath

+is a comma separated list of directories to search for

+.B __xservername__

+server modules.  This option is only available when the server is run

+as root (i.e, with real-uid 0).

+.TP 8

+.B \-nosilk

+Disable Silken Mouse support.

+.TP 8

+.B \-pixmap24

+Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 24 bits per pixel.

+The default is usually 32 bits per pixel.  There is normally little

+reason to use this option.  Some client applications don't like this

+pixmap format, even though it is a perfectly legal format.  This is

+equivalent to the

+.B Pixmap

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.

+.TP 8

+.B \-pixmap32

+Set the internal pixmap format for depth 24 pixmaps to 32 bits per pixel.

+This is usually the default.  This is equivalent to the

+.B Pixmap

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-pointer " pointer-name"

+Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file

+.B InputDevice

+section called

+.I pointer-name

+as the core pointer.  This option is ignored when the

+.B Layout

+section specifies a core pointer.  In the absence of both a Layout

+section and this option, the first relevant

+.B InputDevice

+section is used for the core pointer.

+.TP 8

+.B \-quiet

+Suppress most informational messages at startup.  The verbosity level

+is set to zero.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-rgamma " value"

+Set the red gamma correction.

+.I value

+must be between 0.1 and 10.  The default is 1.0.  Not all drivers support

+this.  See also the

+.BR \-gamma ,

+.BR \-bgamma ,

+and

+.B \-ggamma

+options.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-screen " screen-name"

+Use the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file

+.B Screen

+section called

+.IR screen-name .

+By default the screens referenced by the default

+.B Layout

+section are used, or the first

+.B Screen

+section when there are no

+.B Layout

+sections.

+.TP 8

+.B \-showconfig

+This is the same as the

+.B \-version

+option, and is included for compatibility reasons.  It may be removed

+in a future release, so the

+.B \-version

+option should be used instead.

+.TP 8

+.B \-showDefaultModulePath

+Print out the default module path the server was compiled with.

+.TP 8

+.B \-showDefaultLibPath

+Print out the path libraries should be installed to.

+.TP 8

+.B \-showopts

+For each driver module installed, print out the list of options and their

+argument types.

+.TP 8

+.BI \-weight " nnn"

+Set RGB weighting at 16 bpp.  The default is 565.  This applies only to

+those drivers which support 16 bpp.

+.TP 8

+.BR \-verbose " [\fIn\fP]"

+Sets the verbosity level for information printed on stderr.  If the

+.I n

+value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the

+verbosity level.  When the

+.I n

+value is supplied, the verbosity level is set to that value.  The default

+verbosity level is 0.

+.TP 8

+.B \-version

+Print out the server version, patchlevel, release date, the operating

+system/platform it was built on, and whether it includes module loader

+support.

+.SH "KEYBOARD"

+.PP

+The

+.B __xservername__

+server is normally configured to recognize various special combinations

+of key presses that instruct the server to perform some action, rather

+than just sending the key press event to a client application. These actions

+depend on the XKB keymap loaded by a particular keyboard device and may or

+may not be available on a given configuration.

+.PP

+The following key combinations are commonly part of the default XKEYBOARD

+keymap.

+.TP 8

+.B Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

+Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked. It can be disabled by

+setting the

+.B DontZap

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option to a TRUE value.

+.PP

+.RS 8

+It should be noted that zapping is triggered by the

+.B Terminate_Server

+action in the keyboard map. This action is not part of the default keymaps

+but can be enabled with the XKB option

+.B \*qterminate:ctrl_alt_bksp\*q.

+.RE

+.TP 8

+.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus

+Change video mode to next one specified in the configuration file.

+This can be disabled with the

+.B DontZoom

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.

+.TP 8

+.B Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus

+Change video mode to previous one specified in the configuration file.

+This can be disabled with the

+.B DontZoom

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.

+.TP 8

+.B Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12

+For systems with virtual terminal support, these keystroke

+combinations are used to switch to virtual terminals 1 through 12,

+respectively.  This can be disabled with the

+.B DontVTSwitch

+__xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) file option.

+.SH CONFIGURATION

+.B __xservername__

+typically uses a configuration file called

+.B __xconfigfile__

+and configuration files with the suffix

+.I .conf

+in a directory called

+.B __xconfigdir__

+for its initial setup.

+Refer to the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page for information

+about the format of this file.

+.PP

+.B __xservername__

+has a mechanism for automatically generating a built-in configuration

+at run-time when no

+.B __xconfigfile__

+file or

+.B __xconfigdir__

+files are present.  The current version of this automatic configuration

+mechanism works in two ways.

+.PP

+The first is via enhancements that have made many components of the

+.B __xconfigfile__

+file optional.  This means that information that can be probed or

+reasonably deduced doesn't need to be specified explicitly, greatly

+reducing the amount of built-in configuration information that needs to

+be generated at run-time.

+.PP

+The second is to have "safe" fallbacks for most configuration information.

+This maximises the likelihood that the

+.B __xservername__

+server will start up in some usable configuration even when information

+about the specific hardware is not available.

+.PP

+The automatic configuration support for __xservername__ is work in progress.

+It is currently aimed at the most popular hardware and software platforms

+supported by __xservername__.  Enhancements are planned for future releases.

+.SH FILES

+The

+.B __xservername__

+server config files can be found in a range of locations.  These are

+documented fully in the __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) manual page.  The

+most commonly used locations are shown here.
